He's why Atlanta got the 1996 Olympics.

He's responsible for rejuvenating Atlanta. It grew into a reasonable city after he built the TBS, CNN, and Turner Broadcasting empire. Without him, Atlanta may have been closer to a Charlotte in size, and definitely could not have pulled the Olympic games.

He gave Atlanta a media presence and those that came after him turned it into a media production hub.

He also created Captain Planet, which raised millennials on environmental causes.

We wouldn't have had Cartoon Network, Toonami, or Adult Swim without his William Street studios.

He briefly owned the Atlanta Braves and was their owner during their 90's World Series win. He funded their stadium, which doubled as the Olympic Stadium during the games (and which is now a part of Georgia State University).

He may have created the Georgia Guidestones (sadly they were bombed) and reportedly recorded a secret message not to be played until WWIII / nuclear annihilation.

He did a lot of good.
